TOWN OF KEWASKUM- A 21-year-old city of West Bend was seriously injured after being involved in a motor vehicle accident Thursday evening, February 1. Flight for Life Helicopter transported the man from the scene.
Washington County Sheriffs deputies responded to the call at 9:02 p.m. on Oak Drive about three miles north of County Road H. Sheriff’s deputies reported that another motorist found Joshua J. Kessen crawling from the crash site.
It is believed that Kessen was traveling southbound on Oak Road in the township and lost control of his vehicle on the snow-covered roadway while negotiating a turn. The vehicle traveled off the road on the right side and struck a tree.
Deputies could not estimate how long the man was at the crash scene before the motorist found him on the infrequently traveled road. They do not believe alcohol played a role in the crash and noted that Kessen was not wearing his seatbelt.
County Highway H east was closed while Flight for Life Helicopter staged in a parking lot used for a nearby bridle trail. Oak Drive was also closed for over an hour.
Information on Kessens condition was not available. However, we will post an update as soon as possible. A complete article will be published in the February 8 printed edition.
